Kim Dotcom is a cheater. Years ago, under the name "kimble," he hosted a quake 2 league - "liga." The top of the league was this cali stoner kid, Immortal.

Kimble was supposed to pay immortal, but insisted on playing him first. During this match, kimble used an aimbot, but somehow (like a true fucking scrub) managed to lose anyway! (in rocket arena, not even duel).

Worse, kimble didn't even pay immortal (or anyone else in Liga) after his loss. He just e-sulked.

Now, we have these claims about kimble being the top CoD or whatever. Bullshit. Putting aside year that CoD is a scrub game, the fact of the matter is that kimble has not won any tournaments - instead, all of his success has been online, raising the strong possibility that he is using hacks. Further, I gather that your ranking is heavily influenced by how much you play, as opposed to skill - so his number one ranking could just be a measure of neckbeardness.

In sum - Kimble is a proven cheater at fps gaming and has no real accomplishments to his name. Venerating him for his fps prowess is therefore misguided.

California. Kurt Shmida, Immortal. Very memorable loss to Thresh in one of the PGL's - Thresh came up from the loser's bracket. The impressive thing was thresh was a doom champ, then q1, then q2. fucking unreal.

the skill level is ASTRONOMICALLY high. no real ceiling a human can reach. it's similar to how the best chess bots keep seeing linear improvements, implying the space for improvement is vastvastvast even w/ the simple strats we have.

it's rare when you even get a 1700+ GLICKO match. used to be 2100 min server you could fill. wtf.
